Li Qing shuddered and shouted, "Who? Come out...... ...... pretending to be a ghost"

Lin Zhe also frowned.

I only saw a figure moving in the darkness in the corner.

When I looked again, I found that it was a thin old man.

The old man turned around, lit a kerosene lamp, and walked out slowly.

When the old man approached, Li Qing's face turned pale with fright.

This old man looked shriveled and thin, his whole body seemed to be dehydrated, and he was like a dried corpse, with old age spots on his face, dense, revealing a gloomy aura, and his face was blue and yellow, and it was extremely ugly.

However, under the yellowish light, the old man's eyes were blazing, looking directly at Lin Zhe and Li Qing.

Lin Zhe said: "Old man, we are here to ask about something. ”

"Things?"

The old man looked at Lin Zhe for a moment, walked to the side tremblingly, and gently pushed the lid of the coffin that had been opened by Li Qing just now with his hand.

With a "squeak", the coffin lid was slowly closed.

The old man said in a hoarse voice, "If you don't buy anything, please go out!" ”

Lin Zhe smiled and said, "Old man, let's ask about something, and we won't delay you for too long." ”

The old man was in the house, busy with his own affairs, and didn't pay attention to Lin Zhe and Li Qing.

Lin Zhe and Li Qing stood there and didn't say anything for a long time.

After a while, the old man said quietly, "What do you want to ask?" ”

Lin Zhe said: "Dare to ask the old man, what time is the business hours of your coffin shop?" ”

"It opens at four o'clock in the afternoon and ends at five o'clock in the morning the next day." The old man said nonchalantly.

"Oh?" Li Qing was stunned, couldn't help but be a little suspicious, and said, "Will anyone come when the door is open for business during this time period?" ”

The old man said unhurriedly: "The coffin shop is not a business for the living...... Why do you need to open the door during the day? I'm not the only coffin shop on this street...... If the dead are destined for me, someone will come to buy my coffin......"

Under the faint light, the lacquered coffin seemed to have oil stains not dried, and the old man took a rag and wiped the oil stains around the coffin over and over again.

His movements were very slow, and his shriveled and thin hands seemed to break when the wind blew.

In the darkness, the old man's whole body was like a ghost.

Inside this inner room, the breath is cold and a little infiltrating.

Lin Zhe stared at the old man, and said coldly: "Then did you hear any strange movements in the early hours of last night?" ”

"Movement?" The old man smiled disdainfully and said, "Although my coffin shop is a dead man's business, however, the coffin here is not lying dead people, how can there be strange movements?" ”

Lin Zhe frowned and said, "Then did you smell a strange smell?" Or...... What do you see? ”

The old man froze, looked at Lin Zhe, his face was cold, and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

Lin Zhe sneered and said, "I'll ask casually." ”

At this moment, the old man also smiled.

He laughed, the look on his face became more and more hideous and terrifying, his mouth was cracked, and the teeth in it were crooked, and there was not much left.

The old man said faintly: "This street, called the Street of the Dead, I am here, I have been running this coffin shop for thirty years, I don't know anything else, I only know, it's none of my business, I don't bother with it...... Two little brothers, you ...... You're here to investigate the case, right? ”

"Oh? Can you see that? ”

"As soon as you enter the door, go straight to the inner room, where there are many coffins, and if you really want to buy a coffin, you have to look at it a few times...... When I entered the inner room, I opened my mouth to ask questions, and I didn't seem to be very interested in my coffin...... I look at you, your steps are steady, your breath is calm, your expression is calm, it doesn't look like you have encountered something dirty, and it doesn't look like something happened at home......" Speaking of this, the old man tilted his head and smiled, as if talking to himself, and said: "I should have come to investigate the case." ”

Li Qing's expression changed, he snorted coldly, and said, "Lin Zhe, I see that this old man has a problem. ”

"He's fine." Lin Zhe said lightly.

"What do you mean?" Li Qing was stunned.

Lin Zhe smiled: "He just wants money, old man...... Am I right? ”

The old man went about his work, but did not speak.

Lin Zhe took a deep breath, stretched out his hand, knocked twice on the coffin board, and said, "Old man, if you answer my question, I will buy a sandalwood coffin." ”

When the words fell, the old man stopped his movements, turned around slowly, looked at Lin Zhe, squeezed out a shriveled smile on his face, and said, "A sandalwood coffin is not cheap. ”

"How much?"

"Thirty thousand!" The old man replied.

Li Qing couldn't help but roll her eyes.

The business of this coffin shop is really not open for three years, and it has been open for three years.

A coffin sells for 30,000 yuan, and the place where the dead man lies is more expensive than the bed where the living lie down.

Lin Zhe said: "I'll buy it!" ”

After hearing this, the old man smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, last night ...... I helped paint a batch of newly made coffins in my shop, and there were few people at night, but ...... But I saw a blue smoke coming out of the paper shop opposite. ”

"Teal smoke?"

Lin Zhe and Li Qing shook their bodies and their eyes widened.

The two of them were attacked last night, and after the two black shadows were destroyed, all that was left behind was a thick cyan liquid.

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, the blue smoke, as far as I know...... On the other side, Ah Yuan, on weekdays, not only sells some paper and shrouds, but occasionally, he will help people do some rituals and take some business......"

Li Qing's face changed and said, "You are lying." ”

The old man was stunned and said, "I didn't lie. ”

Lin Zhe said: "We just came out of the Ayuan paper shop opposite, and in it, except for some paper, dark money, and shrouds, there are no tools for doing things, let alone a legal altar. ”

The old man listened and laughed.

The dim candlelight, flickering and flickering, illuminated his smile a little strangely.

After a pause, the old man said faintly: "You only saw my coffin shop, there is an inner room, don't you see, there is a door in Ayuanzha paper shop?" ”

Lin Zhe's body trembled, and in his eyes, a flash of light flashed, as if he thought of something, and at that moment, he turned around and walked out.

"Lin Zhe ......"

Li Qing's face changed, he glanced at the old man suspiciously, and then immediately followed behind Lin Zhe.

"Hey...... Remember to come back and buy a coffin......"

In the inner room, the old man's strange voice came out.

Lin Zhe and Li Qing were stunned as soon as they got out of the coffin shop.

The Ayuanzha paper shop that claimed to be open 24 hours a day just now was already closed at this moment.
